I never said it would stop your games being Steam dependent, I said it would neutralise the need to connect to the internet.

As for your second point; Uh, what about Games for Windows Live? What about Rockstar's Social Club?

And the first point? Impulse. Games for Windows Live.

Valve do not have a monopoly on digital sales, game management nor the PC market. They cannot be a monopoly because the competitors are out there and are succeeding. I think you've got your definition of monopoly wrong, Knight Flyer.

Oh, and P.S. I'm not really a big Steam fan. I'm more... Impassive towards it.
